Connection Award
Multi-tenant White Paper - Influence on the Architecture and Design Build

"Cory Bennett has been the conductor behind the adoption of using adaptive content across the working disciplines. Recognizing there was more work to be done this area, he boldly took it to the next level and began partnering with the architecture team to outline the CX architecture and experience opportunities which would contribute to building a more resilient and scalable platform. To support his argument on the need Cory pursued the research and ultimately a publication of a whitepaper which would eventually become the guide for the on-going discussions. In this paper Cory artfully called out the following: 1) gaps in the current approach (which was missing the overall CX) 2) the hurdles to scale/speed to be at market parity 3) options to unify the customer experience (offering consistency, seamless engagement and support), 4) areas for monetization. This advanced thinking has led to ongoing discussions with the architecture and business teams resulting in upfront planning and influence on the build and system designs for more effective investment."
